For best results your first step is Olay Definity Deep Penetrating Foaming Moisturizer.  Step two is to apply Olay Definity Correcting Protective Lotion SPF 15 for daytime use.  It comes in a pump bottle which I love, it’s so much more sanitary and keeps the ingredients nice and safe from the elements. 

Olay is a great brand that’s been around for a long time and never fails to deliver great skincare.  The best part is it’s affordable and accessible to many women locally. 

It’s got a great fresh scent that will make you feel happier immediately but there is also science backing this product and with an SPF 15 it is providing broad spectrum UV protection avoiding harmful sun damage.  In the morning when you may be in a hurry it’s nice to have something that will quickly absorb into your skin. 

Don’t forget to use Olay Definity intense hydrating cream @ night over your Foaming Moisturizer.

Cost Effective Luxury 

Olay Definity Deep Penetrating Foaming Moisturizer is your first layer of defense and skin nourishment.  It’s incredible because it comes out as a foam.  I must admit when it first came out I instinctively spread it to both hands like hair mousse but snapped out of it just in time.  I like the mousse because it is light, spreads easily and feels light on my skin.

A little goes a long way because it spreads so easily making it a cost effective luxury.  Layer Olay Definity Correcting Protective Lotion with SPF 15 for day and Olay Definity Intense Hydrating Cream for night. 

I’m so happy to see a classic brand like Olay keep up with modern life.

Soon I will post pictures of my Rose Garden, I’ve been tending it gingerly waiting for my rose crop to reward me with the slightest reciprocity for my hours of attention.  It takes a lot to grow roses, they are prone to lots of leaf diseases and infestations, not to mention little ones that want to make mommy a bouquet and cut down to the root with a sweet smile.

Weather it’s bugs or kids there are lots of things that can go wrong with a rose garden.  That’s why I was astounded to find out that the creams I’ve been slathering on use only Damask rose oil — it takes 60,000 roses to make a single ounce of Damask rose oil!! 

Berwick Balancing Day Cream is luxurious but it’s also necessary luxe because it has more than 300 organic compounds and is tolerated by all skin types.  Berwick provides Natural Beauty with  a scent (rose-y of course) and texture that could command a much higher price tag. 

I did not take it along on my trip making my homecoming that much better.  Everything’s coming up roses at Berwick with pore minimizing and even skin tone with a light-weight, hydrating formula.  It’s a great first step in the morning to prep your face for makeup or alone for a dressed down day.  Want one more especially noteworthy fact?  the first ingredient in all Berwick products is rose water.  You’ve GOT to give this line a try.

 What wouldn’t I do for a great gift with purchase?  Luckily this time the gwp was for a brand I love and I only had to buy one product at a great price.  In return I got the the lovely cosmetic bags with Eiffel Tower zipper pulls, and all the little goodies of course.

 Lancome’s Aqua Fusion with SPF 15 is designed for normal/combination skins.  When you pump it out the scent is so soothing and spring-y that it totally makes me forget we have a projected 12 inches of snow heading for my area.  There’s no oil in this product, light and easily absorbed. It is fresh and calming, sure to make another appearance on my bathroom shelves.
